Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Standard/Transformed_CSR_04/Ex24_Luc06_GM)

The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.

a__f(b,X,c) a__f(X,a__c,X) (1)
a__c b (2)
mark(f(X1,X2,X3)) a__f(X1,mark(X2),X3) (3)
mark(c) a__c (4)
mark(b) b (5)
a__f(X1,X2,X3) f(X1,X2,X3) (6)
a__c c (7)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

No.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Loop

The following loop proves nontermination.

t0 = a__f(a__c,a__c,a__c)
a__f(a__c,a__c,c)
a__f(b,a__c,c)
a__f(a__c,a__c,a__c)
= t3
where t3 = t0
